Elevation Burger in Falls Church, Virginia

I checked out Elevation Burger in Falls Church this afternoon, which is a new "healthy" burger restaurant. Although I'm dubious of the healthy-ness of burgers and fries, I appreciate their having two different veggie burgers on the menu. Veggie burger #1 has a meat-like taste, and veggie burger #2 tastes like veggies.

For beef eaters (no, I don't mind the guy on the gin bottle) there are organic beef burgers, which sound pretty tasty. The greasy fries they serve are sliced right in front of you and cooked fresh in olive oil.

While the food is better than ordinary fast food, it's not exactly do die for. (The milkshakes are supposed to be killer, but I haven't tried one.) Also, it's nice that the prices aren't "elevated" -- even though they server higher quality food that is freshly made, both meat and veggie burgers cost just around $3.

That's cool. The milkshakes are, in fact, killer. I'd recommend the strawberry vanilla malt. The burgers are OK. My favorite thing about the place is that it's cheap and it has good options for vegetarians. That can be hard to find at a burger joint.
